The importance of staying active and healthy during the current COVID19 lock-down has been reinforced with the Australian Federal Health Ministers direction that Exercise Physiologists are an essential service to the community at this time.

Many in the community suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease; or suffer from chronic pain and injury. Accessing an Exercise Physiologist for treatment is vital for many individuals who are experiencing chronic disease or injury.​In keeping with the social distancing guidelines, Inspire Fitness has recently launched our Exercise Physiology services outdoors. Maintaining a clinical approach to exercise programming, outdoor exercise physiology sessions are designed to maintain strength, health, and rehabilitation of injury.

Outdoor Exercise Physiology sessions are being offered in conjunction with our normal face to face consultations within the gym at Inspire Fitness, and our Telehealth Exercise Physiology consultations.

Designed for individuals who feel uncomfortable accessing the gym facilities; outdoor exercise under the guidance of an Inspire Exercise Physiologist is a great way to stay strong and active during this COVID-19 lock-down period.

In this period of forced isolation due to COVID-19, there are many in our community vulnerable to worsening health conditions, injury and chronic disease.

The Victorian government introduced the Phase 3 lock-down to prevent community spread of the virus. This included the shutting of Exercise Physiology gyms such as Inspire Fitness; resulting in the prevention of many vulnerable people to access expert advice and specialized strength training equipment.

Inactivity and poor exercise structures can increase the advancement of chronic disease and injury.
